Okay, went with the simplest approach for v1: indeed just flattening the space like this. Only after implementing TEST_PROGS_RECURSE and PRESERVE_TEST_DIRS. Both make kselftest more complex and in subtle ways that could break existing tests. Also simplified the interpreter mechanism. Instead of requiring an environment variable, look for a specific executable in the TARGET dir. This will make the test just work when someone does a manual run. All is tentative and up for revision, of course.
